Abstract From the Canadian patent

A technique is described for the preparation of conjugated arylene and heteroarylene vinylene polymers wherein conversion of the polymer precursor is effected at a temperature ranging from 150-300°C in the presence of forming gas. Studies have shown that the presence of the forming gas suppresses the formation of carbonyl groups so resulting in an enhancement in photoluminescence and electroluminescence efficiency of the polymer.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 31, 1994 and granted February 2, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 31, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 31, 2016.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
